Most Favorable Review

Great little video card

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB Video Card, GV-N105TOC-4GL
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB Video Card, GV-N105TOC-4GL

Pros: At work I had this old Hp Compaq 6200 Pro Small Form Factor (low profile desktop) and wanted some horsepower on the video and found this to be the better option, not only because its 4 gb ram, but it also does not need extra power supply. It runs everything at decent fps and yet is very silent at a very affordable price.

Cons: None really

Most Critical Review

Good until it died

ASRock X399 Taichi sTR4 AMD X399 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard
ASRock X399 Taichi sTR4 AMD X399 SATA 6Gb/s ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It's a solid Mobo with plenty of connections, the Asrock forum community is quite good.

Cons: Has serious compatibility issues with many memories, better double check what you are pairing it with.

Overall Review: It died after 10 months of moderate use, it simply stopped booting, working, moving... anything.

Great, a worth investment

Pros: You can literally throw anything inside. A must if you are going to watercool, but specially if you are going to use a EKWB big kit or similar setup, it is like both companies worked together to build this beast... everything has a place in it.

Cons: It is not a LAN party box... yep

Best sound ever

Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 RGB 5.1 Discrete / 7.1 Virtual Surround Pro Gaming PCIe Sound Card
Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 RGB 5.1 Discrete / 7.1 Virtual Surround Pro Gaming PCIe Sound Card

Pros: I must start saying I have a very good set of speakers, a Klipsch 5.1 setup that can rival to anything out there, also I come from other SB sound cards, like Platinum and Zx all the way back to a SB16 and AWE Creative's cards. Said that I can attest this is the best sounding card I have ever had, clarity and detail wise, simply extraordinary. None who consider him/herself an audiophile can't state otherwise. You must own this card if you want the most perfect sound ever in a PC, no more, no less.

Cons: I'm still intrigued if I'm going to miss the DTS and Dolby decoders.

Overall Review: May not be a con, but you gotta have yourself the best possible speakers to really appreciate this card, or so I believe

3 years later. still going strong

EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 120-G2-1300-XR 80+ GOLD 1300W Fully Modular Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply
EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 120-G2-1300-XR 80+ GOLD 1300W Fully Modular Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply

Pros: Will support and power everything you can throw at it, including 3 way sli of nvidia 1080s Silent Cool operation Not a single hiccup in three years, even after passing the eventual electric shortage that had occurred in that time

Cons: None

Overall Review: It is expensive, but -as usual- you get what you pay for. I have the feeling I will not need a new PS ever

Solid and reliable, tons of features

ASUS Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac) LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It will boot from the first time, it will support your mem sticks without hesitation and its software control features are nice enough. Paired with an Intel i7 4790K CPU, 32 gigs of G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series Model F3-1600C9Q-32GXM and one EVGA GTX 780 6GB,. I haven't had the necessity to OC at all, but I have the feeling it will also rock on that area. Best description: server-solid like. Choose this MB if you are looking for stability above all, but with room for nice features.

Cons: Not really so far.

Overall Review: ASUS AI Suite (to control fans and stuff) actually works well.
